Wharton Grade Inflation & Math Level?!?!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I was accepted into Wharton ED, but I'm more scared of the rigor of the courses there than relieved that I got in. How IS the curve? Is there a grade de/inflation? While I am really looking forward to the opportunities there, I am also concerned about the GPA because I am planning to apply to a law school (the plan might change, but in case I do follow through..)</p>

<p>Also, I realized the only math classes required at Wharton are 2 semesters of STATS and 1 semester of CALCULUS. With 5's in both STATS and CALC, I probably won't be taking those classes, but why is everyone emphasizing the necessity of developed math skills--considering there will only be one math class required for people like me? Is it that the math skills required in ECON classes are that amazingly hard?</p>

<p>Sorry for the paragraph long questions. Hope these are some questions for others as well.!</p>

<p>I can’t answer your questions directly, but if you look like two or three pages later in the penn forum, you’ll find that someone recently asked these exact questions. good luck and congrats on the ED acceptance.</p>

<p>because quants are desirable on wall street. Wharton is a nice resume prop but companies want to know that you know how to think quantitatively.</p>
